Welcome to the Polynational War Memorial, a proposal for a war memorial for all wars since World War II, which will include the names of more than 10 million killed soldiers and civilians. This site includes information about the project and is a collection of war memorials and monuments.

A new section - Presentations - has been added to this website. It includes information about the public presentations of the project. New pages have been created for acknowledgements and the design proposal, and specially the latter section will be updated with a lot of new material in the coming months.
